As the title says,this blog is about discussing the PC world,new trends,new technologies.I'm personally a chip fanatic,but I like programming too.Anything that fits these categories will be discussed here.

I've just read sweclocker's review of 4770K/4670K. I wanted to see
what kind of difference, power wise, are we looking at Vs 8350. It turns
out that in OCCT 4770K draws 140W vs 210W
for 8350, both at stock. When OCed to 4.4Ghz, the power draw of 4770K
spikes to 190W while performance increases roughly by ~11% or so
(logical since the chip almost always tries to run at full turbo of
3.9Ghz).

Now when we look at the rumored OCed-out-of-the-box FX models, we see
them having the rather high TDP of 220W. This is 95W higher than
official TDP spec for 8350 (or a bit less than that considering 8350 can
actually go above 125W). Now looking at sweclocker's link I posted
above, the FX9000 @ 5Ghz should be sitting at 210+95~=305W. This is with
20% clock (performance) increase since both rumored stock and Turbo
clock are ~20% higher than on 8350. 305W of "stock" FX9000 vs 190W of
OCed to rather expected/normal 4.4Ghz for 4770K on air- that's 115W of
difference, roughly of course. Since the jump with FX9000 is 20% vs the
perf. increase of 10% the OC of 4700K nets, we have the FX9000 actually
closing the gap when compared to OCed 4770K. Versus stock 4770K, new
"stock" FX should be winning some of the benchmarks and closing the gap
significantly in others. In some situations the gap will still be there
though and with a hefty power difference at that.

Finally the pricing structure. If AMD prices these parts at lower range
than 4770K, somewhere close to 4670K or a bit higher (250-260$), it
could be an "OK" purchase for those wanting great MTed performance and
somewhat competitive ST performance (5Ghz Vishera is pretty fast chip in
ST tasks, still slower than IB and co though). Lastly those buyers
should be ready to accept the fact their chip will be drawing >120W
more than OCed IB/Haswell setup,but will be cheaper ~100$ or so.
